Natural resources form the basis of our
existence on this planet. The objectives
of our policy are for these resources to be
used sparingly and in a manner which
takes the requirements of both nature
and humanity into account.
Our declared policy is integrated environ-
mental protection. This policy starts at
the root causes and encompasses in its
management decisions all the conse-
quences for the environment which could
arise from production processes or the
products themselves.
You too can help to protect the environ-
ment by operating your Mercedes-Benz in
an environmentally responsible manner.
Operating conditions and your individual
driving style to a large extent influence
fuel consumption and the rate of engine,
brake, and tire wear. To reduce fuel con-
sumption and the rate of wear, please
consider the following:
• Avoid short trips.
• Make sure that the tire pressures are
always correct.
• Avoid frequent, abrupt acceleration.
• Do not carry any unnecessary weight.
• Remove ski holders and roof racks
once you no longer need them.
• Do not warm up the engine with the
vehicle stationary.
• Shift gears such that each gear is
used only up to 2/3 of its maximum
engine speed.
• Keep an eye on the vehicle's fuel con-
sumption.
A regularly serviced vehicle will also help
protect the environment. You should ad-
here to the maintenance intervals dis-
played by the Maintenance System
indicator, along with other maintenance
work described in this booklet.
We recommend that you have services
performed by an authorized Mercedes-
Benz Light Truck Center using Genuine
Mercedes-Benz parts.
